The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 11

"Second Aunt, can you... lend me some saponins?" Yingniang asked cautiously.

Jin Hua looked confused, "Why?" She looked at Yingniang's empty basket and wet clothes, and seemed to understand, "You mean acacia, right?"

"Soap... acacia, it's acacia, I forgot to bring it." Yingniang's face was slightly red, she showed her stuff with just one mouth.

Jin Hua lent her a small handful, "I still need to wash it myself, so I can only borrow these from you. This year's acacia tree hasn't started to produce seeds yet, and these are left over from last year. There are not many left at home."

Yingniang heard what she meant, and quickly said: "I will pay you back when I get home, and I will never forget it."

Jin Hua suddenly felt that what she said just now was too clear, she smiled embarrassedly, "It's not urgent."

At this time, an old lady on the other side of Yingniang asked curiously: "Huh? Aren't you from the Lin family village? Although the Lin family village is more than ten miles away from our Xue family village, it seems to be called acacia, my eldest sister." My daughter-in-law's natal family is from Linjiacun. Also, why doesn't your accent sound like Linjiacun?"

When the old woman asked, Yingniang became a little nervous.Since the day she crossed over, she didn't dare to speak at first. She only listened to her mother Li Xinghua talk for a whole day before she learned that accent and said a few simple words.

The dialect here is actually quite easy to learn, after all, the northern dialect is very close to Mandarin.In addition, she was very good at learning the accent of foreigners since she was a child, so she imitated her mother's accent, and her mother's family didn't hear anything, not to mention that she didn't say more than ten sentences at her mother's house.

When she came to her in-law's house, she unconsciously learned her accent from Boming again. After all, she didn't listen to her mother's family anymore, and she couldn't remember the accent of Linjiacun.But the Boming family didn't pay much attention to this at all. After all, the accents of Lin's family village and Xue's family's village were only slightly different, and they couldn't tell if they didn't listen carefully.

Unexpectedly, the old lady was so sharp that she could hear the clue.

Yingniang's head was like flashes of lightning, she quickly searched for various reasons, and soon she explained with a smile: "My natal family's conversation is quite complicated, many daughters-in-law are from other villages, and I often talk to them. They chatted together, so that my Linjiacun accent changed. Now that I am at my in-law’s house, I just follow Boming to speak Xuejiacun’s dialect, but I just learned it, so I still can’t speak it well.”

Everyone nodded in agreement with her explanation.

The old woman smiled and said: "Look I'm old-fashioned. Speaking of which, my natal family is from Shakou County. When I got married, I used my natal family's accent at first, but now it's the authentic Xuejia village dialect. When I went to my mother's house, I still found it awkward to speak my mother's language, and it sounded different."

金花接话道：“可不是么，都说嫁鸡随鸡，嫁狗随狗，来到婆家自然要说婆家的话了。我不也是这样，我在娘家是说'揍饭'，来到Here, it's not like you say 'cooking'."

A woman on the opposite side heard this and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Yingniang to be quite capable. As soon as I came to my in-law's house, I knew that I had to follow her in-law's side when I talked. Your in-laws will definitely like you. "

Yingniang just raised her head and smiled at her, feeling so awkward in her heart, it's not like she's going to come, but there's nothing she can do about it.But she is not in a hurry, she will go back to the door tomorrow, and listen to how her mother speaks when she goes back. If she listens a lot, she will be able to use these two kinds of words flexibly.

Yingniang is not very good at washing clothes with acacia, so she secretly watched how the second aunt did it from the corner of her eyes, and she just followed suit.It doesn't matter, as long as you have a strong learning ability.

In her previous life, it was because she was eager to learn and knew how to learn, so she had no problems getting into college and finding a job. She was also very comfortable with all kinds of things at work, and she didn't feel too much pressure.

Now that she has come to ancient times, she has to maintain her usual style, so that she can truly be the "capable" they want to see.

She just finished washing her clothes, and Jin Hua finished washing, and the two of them came back together again.

Before Yingniang got home and had time to dry her clothes, she went to the house to look for acacia. After searching for a long time, she finally found it in a clay pot in the kitchen. It seems that this acacia is really a good thing, otherwise her mother-in-law would not be so diligent. Put it on.

She grabbed a small handful and sent it to the second aunt's house next door.Seeing that she returned it so quickly, Jin Hua hurriedly took it, and said: "There are not many honey locusts in every house. In the future, when you wash your clothes, you need to mix them with plant ash. This will save some money."

Ying Niang nodded straight, "Yes, I see."

When she got home again, she searched carefully, and found a small basket beside the courtyard door, filled with ashes, it seemed to be the kind of plant ash brought by the second aunt, it should be this.It turned out that there were so many at home, and they were placed in the yard, but she didn't know them.

Yingniang hung the clothes to dry on the thick hemp ropes pulled in the yard, and then fetched water from the well to wash her sheets.She was embarrassed to wash the blood-stained sheets outside, for fear that people would make fun of her when they saw her. The new wife would definitely be shy when she heard such a topic of first night.

She didn't dare to wash the blood-stained kerchief, her mother-in-law hadn't seen it yet, she would wash it after she had seen it, maybe she forgot about it in the morning.If the mother-in-law didn't read it because she didn't care about it, it seemed unreasonable, because then there would be no need for her to wear a white veil last night, and she believed that her mother-in-law cared very much.

After washing the sheets, she didn't seem to know what else to do, she cleaned up everything that needed to be cleaned, and washed everything that needed to be washed.I don't know what time it is now, no, according to the statement here, what time should it be.

She covered her eyes with her hands, and looked at the sun. It seemed to be about nine o'clock, which was just at Si time according to the time.One thing Yingniang is not used to here is that she doesn't have a watch or a mobile phone, and she doesn't even know what time it is, so she always has to look up at the sun.What if the sun cannot be seen on a cloudy day?Doesn't the exact time of day depend entirely on feeling?
It was still early at noon, and there was no rush to make lunch, so Yingniang came to her bedroom.Because the sheets had been washed and there was no bed to cover, she looked for old sheets in the closet.

There were really very few things in the closet, just her two new wedding dresses, and Boming's two new clothes. It is not bad for a peasant family to cut two new clothes when they get married, but there are not many.All that was left were Birming's old clothes, and there were actually two gray and white old monk clothes.

She curiously took it out and put it on her body for comparison, but unfortunately there is no fitting mirror here that can reflect the whole body, otherwise she would really like to wear it on her body to see what it looks like.After gesturing on her body for a while, she put these in again, but...the old sheets were not found.

In order to decorate the bridal chamber, the mother-in-law only made a new set, so what about the old one?Just these things, she turned over and over, looking for many times, and finally her eyes fixed on a piece of cloth that was washed white and was almost transparent.

She took out the cloth, spread it on the bed and looked at it.Well, this should be an old bed sheet, with a large square light gray patch in the middle, the whole bed sheet looks like a big "Hui" character, and it is so thin, it can be seen that it has been used for many years. This is really a match for the tattered patchwork sheets of my mother's family.

She sighed in her heart, life is not easy for her husband's family.

After the bed was made, she felt a little hungry, and she was a little more cautious about eating in the morning, not too full.Seeing that the jujube cake and peanuts on the table were still on the plate, she also wrapped them separately in the morning for the food that had a picture of "born a precious child" on the bed last night.

She was really hungry now, so she couldn't help but took a piece of jujube cake and ate a small handful of melon seeds, she didn't dare to eat the rest, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would keep these for other uses, why would she give them to relatives? Yes, or some more quantity, that would be bad.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that there was no food for lunch, and she didn't know where the vegetable garden was.She came to the kitchen and looked through all the baskets to make sure there was not a single dish.

The leftovers from last night were eaten up this morning.Thinking about it, in such a farmhouse, when a banquet is held, the villagers all open their bellies to eat. It is not bad to have two plates left last night. .

She originally wanted to ask her second aunt where the vegetable garden was, but she hesitated before she walked out of the yard.Because she is very unfamiliar with the terrain here, even if Second Aunt tells her where the vegetable garden is and how she should go, she may still not be able to find it, so she can't let Second Aunt stop her work and take her there. Besides, she didn't have a good impression of her second aunt.

When she was worrying, Boming came back with a load of firewood.

Ying Niang went up to meet her in surprise, "Why did you come back so early?"

Bo Ming was also very happy to see her, and smiled honestly, "I was afraid that it would be boring for you to be alone at home, so I cut it faster, and returned after only cutting more than half of the load, not as much as usual."

Yingniang felt sweet when she heard this, and seeing that he was sweating profusely, she hurried to get a basin of water for him to wash his face.

Ying Niang looked at the load of firewood, "How can you have more than half of the load here? It's obviously a full load. You still said that you are slow, and you work pretty fast."

"It's usually not so fast, today..." Bo Ming couldn't make a deeper confession, so he just covered his face with a towel and washed.

"You are so tired, must you be hungry?" Before he could answer, Yingniang ran to the bedroom and took out a piece of jujube cake, a handful of peanuts, and longan, which she hadn't dared to eat just now, for Bo Ming.

She knew that Birming usually ate these things very rarely. If it wasn't for getting married, it would be impossible for the family to buy these things.

Sure enough, Birming was not willing to eat it at all, but stuffed it in her hand, "I don't like snacks, I only like food. These things are rarely bought once a year. You can eat more this time, next time I don’t know when I will be able to eat it.”

Since it is rare to eat it once a year, how could he not like it?Of course Yingniang knew that he was just reluctant to eat.

In her previous life, she didn't even look down on these things.On the morning before time travel, she ate vanilla cake at home, as well as honeydew melon and walnuts.

Yingniang stuffed it into Birming's hand again, "I've eaten jujube cakes and melon seeds just now, if you don't eat them, I'll be angry."

Boming saw that she really pouted, as if she was very angry, so he said, "Okay, let's eat together."

"Yeah." Yingniang smiled all over her face.

The two faced each other, ate happily, and looked up at each other occasionally, smiling silly.After eating what Yingniang brought out, they didn't eat any more.

Yingniang dusted her hands, "Let's go pick vegetables together, I don't know where the vegetable garden is."

"Okay, let's go together." Birming liked to walk with her.

The two of them walked one after the other, but they were embarrassed to walk side by side.Birming was in front, and Yingniang was behind, with a basket in his arm.

After walking out of the village, they met a man in his early thirties.Yingniang also found that he looked a bit like her father-in-law.

"Hey, why did Birming come back in the middle of the morning? Didn't he miss his wife?" The man smiled meaningfully.

Bo Ming blushed, "Third Uncle, why are you following others' example of making fun of your nephew?"

When Yingniang heard Boming calling him that, she quickly called Third Uncle too.

The third uncle nodded and smiled, just glanced at Yingniang, he didn't dare to look at his nephew's wife.He looked at Boming again, "Third Uncle is not making fun of you. I have already said that it is better to be a monk than to be a monk in a temple. You see, there are still people warming the bed at night. If it is winter, the two of them are crowded to sleep It won't be cold anymore."

"Third uncle, you still say it!" Bo Ming was ashamed, angry and anxious.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. There's nothing to be ashamed about. Didn't you sleep last night?" Third Uncle smiled and walked away.

Fortunately, Bo Ming walked in front, and Ying Niang walked behind. If the two walked side by side, Bo Ming really couldn't look up.The third uncle and his group of nephews often joked and joked together, and they were always straightforward.

The vegetable garden is not far from home, and the two of them arrived within a quarter of an hour after walking.

As soon as she walked into the vegetable garden, Yingniang suddenly jumped up in fright, she turned pale with fright, said: "There is a snake!" and then ran back madly.

Boming caught up and held her hand tightly, "It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."
